1.) Memory Alpha listed the class as a "heavy frigate" and DITL listed it as a "light cruiser", but I decided on the designation "scout frigate" due to its somewhat limited offensive capabilities and status as a carrier vessel.

2.) I chose to list the class as "Still in Production" despite DITL stating production ended in 2363. Many may have been lost during the Dominion War, meaning they're probably not great frontline battleships, but they I think they would still make ideal scouts or escorts.

3.) The dimensions used are taken directly from the deck plans created by Strategic Design.

4. The mass is a guesstimation. DITL gave the tonnage as 375,000 mt but only listed 9 decks; ACTD's ASDB gave the tonnage as 585,000 mt. Perhaps the former was not taking into account the volume of the deflector pod, and to me the latter seems an over-estimation. I chose something in between the two that seemed reasonable.

5.) Type-7 or Type-6 shuttles may be carried in place of the Type-8 and/or Type-9 shuttles.
